Blood Like Mine

De: Stuart Neville

Narrado por: Elisabeth Rodgers, Michael Braun

On a snowy December night, single mother Rebecca Carter drives her van into a snowbank to avoid hitting an elk on a desolate mountain highway. She is at the end of her rope, out of money and food. Still, she refuses help from a man in a pickup truck—Rebecca’s adolescent daughter, Moonflower, is on the run from a grisly secret, and the last thing they can afford is to be remembered by anyone they meet.

Meanwhile, Special Agent Marc Donner of the FBI has spent the better part of two years hunting down a gruesome serial killer who drains victims of blood before severing their spinal cords, leaving a trail of bodies throughout the country. As Agent Donner’s investigation brings him closer and closer to where Rebecca and Moonflower are hiding out, in the foothills of Colorado, the life that Rebecca has fought so hard to hold together for her daughter becomes increasingly imperiled.

In this deadly, high-stakes game of cat and mouse, nobody is safe and nothing is certain—not even the line between predator and prey.

A straightforward supernatural thriller, good read

Great book if you are looking for something light that you can finish in a day or two. The plot is simple to follow and the chapters flow well. It wasn't my favorite execution of this genre, but the pacing is excellent for a casual listener.

Well that was a surprise!!!!

The hammer fell in chapter 22. No spoilers from me, but I went into genre shock right then, forgetting that I fell in love with Stuart Neville after reading Ghosts of Belfast. Only Neville could write in this genre and twist my heart. This one just screams out for a sequel. Wonderful.

Vampire Alert

No. This is not the book I was expecting. Reviews are so deceptive these days, one never knows what one is getting into. But when I see the name Stuart Neville, I think dour, depressing, ghost haunted Irish themes, which is what I love. Vampires, not so much. Every writer has the freedom to write what
they like, but please , all vampire lit should have a big, bold warning. Not my cup of tea.

Great plot!

Blood Like Mine
By Stuart Neville
This started out like a regular serial killer mystery, then slowly added hints of things supernatural. That's when I got excited! I loved how it presented the clues and the bond between mother and daughter. 💕 No, it's not a vampire story, and I am not going to spoil it for the next reader! Very suspenseful and entertaining! Love the ending! Good narration!

Irish writers, please stop

trying to write books as if you were American. The speech, the attitudes, the sense of place are all off and caricatured. Do we try to write Irish literature? No we do not.
